Solar PV Inverter Problems On The Rise

Have you got or had problems
with your solar power inverter? If so you will obviously know how costly that was in lost revenue!

Like
any new appliance in the home, when a solar pv system is installed
it's frequently checked on a daily or weekly basis initially.

Our
research is showing, it is not taking long for this solar inverter
checking, to soon be forgotten. Couple this with a little knowledge of
the electricity bill and power analysis and there is a recipe for
disaster.

It is therefore quite easy to see how a solar inverter that has
problems, can go unnoticed for sometime. After all there is no alert system!

Solar
inverter problems can cost you dearly, with either NO Gross FIT
credit, or NO Net FIT electricity offsetting or exporting.

There
are many reasons problems may occur with a solar systems inverter
such as,

Shoddy
Installation - A symptom of a shoddy solar power installation can
often be where a household's energy bill does not change after the
install. We will assume here the usage patterns have remained the
same, as before the install. Commonly the post solar electricity bill
will show little reduction of the total power cost. Your system may
not be generating the required power to offset your imported power.
It could even be not offsetting but exporting your power!

NET
Meter – The choice or install of the NET meter may be affecting the
gain of your solar power installation. We discuss this in depth on
our SOLAR NET METERING page on our website.

Quality
Of Inverter - You may have bought a rather inefficient badly
designed cheap solar inverter, where the quality is to blame. The
panels may not be matched best to the particular model of inverter
and also be suffering from quality and design issues.

No
Sunny Hour Usage - You may not be using as much power as was
estimated, during the sunny hours of the day. With NET metering you
could be simply exporting most of the power back to the grid for
little return, as you are not using it. See ourNET FIT METERING &BILLINGpage on our website for more details.

Act Of Nature – Lighting
can easily create a malfunction with any solar inverter. Note this
kind of damage is NOT covered by warranty. So make sure the solar
power system is added to the home insurance. This usually costs
little, just needing to be listed to be covered.

Maths – You may have not
understood the maths for the reason you initially installed the solar
power system.

Other Causes -
Unprofessional practice of many types, which has occurred in the past
it seems.

If you are one of the
householders whom have had issues with any of the above or are now
thinking twice, then we have a solution. Yes you need to install a
simple monitoring system to keep you alerted of what is happening on
your roof. As we know you will have
placed considerable finance into your solar power investment, it only
makes sense to spend 'small change' to keep the investment on track.

And if you want to save
further, our ELECTRICITY MONITORING SYSTEMS allow you to see also your electricity
consumption under the roof. Helping you to save more and offset the
cost of the solar power monitoring solution.
